The article discusses the challenges posed by the timing of Canada Day, which falls on a Tuesday this year, creating awkward work schedules. Some startups are providing paid days off on the preceding Monday to allow for a long weekend, emphasizing the importance of employee satisfaction. Klarify founder Moody Abdul champions this approach, suggesting it cultivates a supportive workplace culture. In Quebec, workers may take extended breaks around this holiday due to previous holidays, though not all employers can accommodate such preferences, leaving many to either take a vacation day or cope with the odd schedule.
"It's that 'if I take care of you, you'll take care of us' kind of mentality," Abdul said.
Abdul, whose company provides AI-driven note-taking and administrative tools for therapists, said connecting holidays to weekends shows worker appreciation.
